My nephew's Christmas List

He will be 16 in feb and his Christmas list has quite a few 'M' rated games. My brother (his dad isn't handy with comps so I came on here and decided to ask the community your consensus.

Assassin's Creed

Mass Effect

Halo 3

Bioshock

Crysis (for PC I know but the other 3 are 360s and it's the same company).

Which games are ok. He seems mature and isn't psychopathic. I think he can take it but how bad are these games?

i think he can take them

They're not that bad.

AC just has some violent finishing kills.
Mass Effect isn't that bad from what I've heard.
Halo 3 has two seconds of blood.
Bioshock just has a twisted story.

The worst of all of them (Violence and such wise) is Bioshock. Its a fantastic game, but with the psycho splicers and freaky little girls lol, its strange.

All of them are fine but I dont know about Crysis, simply because I havent played it yet.

Dude im 14 and have been playing m rated games for years.

These Games Are Fine....16 Years Old Is Def. an Age Where He Should Be Aloud To Play Them.. I have Been Games like these Since I was Like 10.

He's alright.. I've played Grand Theft Auto since I was 13 and I haven't turned into a physcopathic maniac..(take that Jack Thompson!)

i heare mass effectis long so i will go with that one

Buy him Halo 3. imo that should be rated T.zzyang

I agree

his parents hear the horror stories on the news and get scared, and nervous, they've never played the games so they don't know what to make of it. I figured he should get the green light.

btw the nephew is me and these are my parents I'm just trying to make a point them that they're overreacting.thanks alot. I played god of War and I stomached it and I play Halo 2 at my friends' houses all the time and I always wonder how it got rated M. Maybe it's like the movies where they need an R rating for it to do well at the box office.
